The Tyler family has been serving in Germany since 2009. Mike helped plant several churches that are now self sufficient. Cara started Europe's Member Care ministry in 2019, and it has also grown immensely. The couple works with passion and creativity, and it shows in these results. Read more about their work at https://thetylers.ju.mp/. Space here does not permit repeating that content, but Michael is a good story teller so please check out their website.

The couple moved to a new assignment in January, in the city of Leipzig. The former East Germany is a serious spiritual battleground, yet God has answered prayers. They found an apartment in less than a month later, despite the competitive the rental market, and they received work visas just when their tourist visa was about to expire. They work with two churches: one started 8 years ago with a focus on college students (Generations Church), and the other started 3 years ago to reach English-speaking people such as international students, immigrants, and a surprising number of Germans (Generations Church International). You can read about these respective churches at https://generationschurch.de (in German) and https://generations-international.de (in English).

Cara leads member care for Europe, taking care of fellow AGWM workers, and helping them stay healthy spiritually, emotionally and physically. This lets them work effectively so that healthy churches can be planted. It is important work, but involves a lot of travel: Cara has been outside of Leipzig over half they days since moving there.

Mike wants to tell Victory Church, “we appreciate your partnership in the work of the gospel.” Cara says, “thank you for your church’s prayer support. It matters!”

Prayer requests:

The biggest need is a new location for their church. The space they are renting a now has been drastically outgrown, and they need room to keep growing. Pray for divine connections and favor.

Please pray for their colleagues, Tyler and Elina Charvat. Tyler had surgery on his ACL (knee ligament) and meniscus last week due to a sports injury, and is going to be laid up for a while.

That also means Michael is taking on a lot of their roles for a while. It’s a busy season, so pray for strength and wisdom.

For their sons at university in the USA, Caleb in his senior year and Luke in his junior year.
